DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program co-directed by Thomas Garrity and Carl Leukefeld proposes to support three pre and three postdoctoral trainees with a training faculty of 24 drawn from six different academic and research units of the University. The environment is rich with opportunities for biobehavioral research in facilities such as the Center on Drug and Alcohol Research, the Center for Drug and Alcohol Research and Translation, and the Residential Research Facility. Trainees will be housed in offices and laboratories of their research supervisor with 24 hour/day access to laboratories and computer facilities. This program is designed to prepare trainees to assume research responsibilities in academic, and other scientific organizations concerned with drug abuse and the behavioral aspects of health and medical care. Postdoctoral fellows will either have a doctorate in a behavioral science discipline and will be preparing for a research role in the drug abuse field, or they will be health professionals who are seeking a behavioral science research orientation in drug abuse. Predoctoral trainees will concentrate in behavioral aspects of drug abuse as part of their program for a doctorate in a behavioral science discipline. Basic elements of the program include: (1) research training designed to provide experience in utilizing the basic building blocks of research (interviewing, case study, experimental design, development and pretesting of instruments, data analysis) and independent research competence; (2) an interdisciplinary orientation which takes students beyond their basic discipline and provides exposure to key theoretical concepts and methodological issues of the related behavioral sciences along with a biobehavioral'conceptualization; (3) a program of enculturation and orientation to drug abuse, health and mental health settings; (4) opportunities to explore drug abuse topics from a medical behavioral perspective through courses offered by training faculty; and (5) opportunities for research around relevant questions in drug abuse behavior that can constitute significant learning experiences for postdoctoral fellows and a dissertation project for predoctoral trainees. The program for postdoctoral fellows will be individually geared to the objectives of the fellows and will build on their previous knowledge and experience.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划由托马斯加里蒂和卡尔Leukefeld共同指导，建议支持三名博士前和三名博士后学员，培训教师24人，来自大学的六个不同的学术和研究单位。环境是丰富的设施，如药物和酒精研究中心，药物和酒精研究和翻译中心，以及住宅研究设施的生物行为研究的机会。学员将被安置在他们的研究主管的办公室和实验室，每天24小时使用实验室和计算机设施。该方案旨在培养学员承担学术研究责任，以及与药物滥用和健康和医疗保健行为方面有关的其他科学组织。博士后研究员将拥有行为科学学科的博士学位，并将为药物滥用领域的研究角色做准备，或者他们将是寻求药物滥用行为科学研究方向的卫生专业人员。博士前学员将集中在药物滥用的行为方面，作为他们在行为科学学科博士学位课程的一部分。该计划的基本要素包括：（1）研究培训，旨在提供利用研究基本构件的经验（访谈、案例研究、实验设计、仪器开发和预测试、数据分析）和独立研究能力;（二）一个跨学科的方向，使学生超越他们的基本学科，并提供接触的关键理论概念和方法论问题的相关的行为科学沿着生物行为的概念化;（3）一个关于药物滥用、健康和精神健康环境的文化适应和定向方案;（4）通过培训教师提供的课程，从医学行为的角度探讨药物滥用问题的机会;以及（5）围绕药物滥用行为的相关问题进行研究的机会，可以为博士后提供重要的学习经验研究员和博士前实习生的论文项目。博士后研究员的计划将单独面向研究员的目标，并将建立在他们以前的知识和经验。
